I have decluttered breakfast then cluttered up the settee when i fell to sleep for 2 hours.
Mum fetched ds from school had lunch and washed a few pots.
Mum gone now so just updated the stars. Off to get ready to go and see Lara.
I am really tired for some reason today not quite sure why.
Remember to put in BIG LETTERS when you want a star.
P.S.
If i have thanked your post don't use it again to ask for more stars as i don't re-read any.
Thanks guys
I am going to a my nieces christening on Sunday and don't have a clue what to get her any ideas. (was going to get a christening bracelet but her mum and dad have bought one of those)
Well done Kassey three stars keep up the good work. Excellent. (putting me to shame):beer: Officially Debt Free Nov 2012 :beer:0 -

Both my huband and i are Godparents to Lily so i wanted to get something special. I will have to go and have a look perhaps Saturday. This week is turning out to be quite busy no wonder i am tired.
My next door neighbour is taking ds to school mum picks him up, there is a puppet show at school tomorrow morning, a disco at school tomorrow night, non uniform hero day where the police are visiting (i want to go to that one;)) on friday. Birthday party Sat pm and Christening sun all day.
Look like shopping either fri afternoon or sat morning.
And i have nothing to wear for christening.:beer: Officially Debt Free Nov 2012 :beer:0
